Hopetown was the quietest, most boring town, miles from anywhere. Lanie had lived there since she was 5. Nothing ever happened usually. It was a town surrounded by sheep stations, mulga scrub and huge thundering trucks covered in red dust passing through on their way to the coast.

One morning last spring, Lanie woke up with a start. Something was wrong. Perhaps it was the colour of the light coming into her room. The day was brighter than usual. Or perhaps the unnatural silence in the house. She could not hear voices arguing, doors slamming, coffee grinding, or the radio. Nothing. Absolute silence.

Suddenly concerned, she threw back the covers, got up and, slipping into her dressing gown, moved quickly down the stairs calling 'Mum', 'Mirri'. Into the empty kitchen, out into the garden. Mum's car was parked in the driveway next to Mirri's bicycle. Where could they be? It was then that she noticed the broken pot and the soil strewn over the paving.
